  • A COLLECTION of SHORT STORIES by SHIRLEY MASON
    A COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES by SHIRLEY MASON LEWTER, B.A. A THESIS IN ENGLISH Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS Approved Accepted August, 1993 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe special thanks to Professors Doug Crowell and Barbara Rodman, whose creative writing classes first inspired me to travel this route. Their suggestions and encouragement have been invaluable. Thanks, also, to Professor John Samson, who patiently read this manuscript and offered his critical advice. Finally, I thank classmates and friends who commented upon these stories. Their understanding of them, as well as their questions concerning them, helped me a great deal. Frank O'Connor, in The Lonely Art: A Study of the Short Story, states that the writing of short stories is "a lonely art, and [writers] too are lonely." Were it not for the people mentioned above, I would have to agree with him. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS • ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ii CHAPTER I.

  • Sophie's World
    Sophie’s World Jostien Gaarder Reviews: More praise for the international bestseller that has become “Europe’s oddball literary sensation of the decade” (New York Newsday) “A page-turner.” —Entertainment Weekly “First, think of a beginner’s guide to philosophy, written by a schoolteacher ... Next, imagine a fantasy novel— something like a modern-day version of Through the Looking Glass. Meld these disparate genres, and what do you get? Well, what you get is an improbable international bestseller ... a runaway hit... [a] tour deforce.” —Time “Compelling.” —Los Angeles Times “Its depth of learning, its intelligence and its totally original conception give it enormous magnetic appeal ... To be fully human, and to feel our continuity with 3,000 years of philosophical inquiry, we need to put ourselves in Sophie’s world.” —Boston Sunday Globe “Involving and often humorous.” —USA Today “In the adroit hands of Jostein Gaarder, the whole sweep of three millennia of Western philosophy is rendered as lively as a gossip column ... Literary sorcery of the first rank.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram “A comprehensive history of Western philosophy as recounted to a 14-year-old Norwegian schoolgirl... The book will serve as a first-rate introduction to anyone who never took an introductory philosophy course, and as a pleasant refresher for those who have and have forgotten most of it... [Sophie’s mother] is a marvelous comic foil.” —Newsweek “Terrifically entertaining and imaginative ... I’ll read Sophie’s World again.” — Daily Mail “What is admirable in the novel is the utter unpretentious-ness of the philosophical lessons, the plain and workmanlike prose which manages to deliver Western philosophy in accounts that are crystal clear.

We often think uniqueness spawns from qualities of race, ethnicity, gender, and class: independent social upbringings that birth special perspectives. While this is true, what we tend to overlook includes a diversity of thought and accepted thought? As editors, we support freshness and rebellion in our art, both in large and small ways alike. Students of the written word are taught the value of newness, and are told to avoid the cliché. Seldom does a strong thinker could say, is equally rare.
